The Altino Brothers - Dual Pianists Classical Crossover

When we first arrived in the United States from Haiti as children, our father, Jean, nurtured our passion for music. While we grew to love and respect the classical music genre, we could not ignore the Caribbean rhythms, R&B sounds, gospel and jazz music surrounding us on the streets of New York City, playing on the radio and being performed in church. Our innovative approach to the piano recognizes our exposure to these genres; displays our unique approach to producing and performing music; and, continues to electrify our audiences, often bringing them to their feet!
